Hello everyone!
I hope you all took advantage of the rare and special occurrence of leap day and made the most of it. It felt like so many of you did! It was so nice to see you get out in the colder, blustery, wet and soggy week we’ve had and look into springing up your wardrobe or just exploring the wonderful city that we live in. I know it’s hard to be motivated to go outside for an adventure during these wet and soggy days, but I find that many of us love throwing on our jackets this time of year to embrace all kinds of weather.
The month of March is an ideal time to live here in the PNW, as it is a time when the winter cold bids farewell to welcome the moderate warmth of spring. Although it certainly doesn’t feel like it this week, the warmth will be here before we know it. One of the things that many of us take for granted during March is the lack of crowds during this time of year. It’s really one of the best times to get out and enjoy the city before the summer tourists, cruise ships and crowds pour in. Consider taking advantage of this special time and visit us at Meadow for all the spring fashion that’s coming in without having to deal with hoards of tourists.
I believe that March marks the beginning of what us locals define as one of the most pleasant times of the year. Spring is an exciting opportunity to refresh your wardrobe and embrace the vibrant energy of the season. It’s the season for lighter fabrics, bright colors, floral prints, lightweight layers, denim, statement accessories and even open toed shoes. It’s the time to start layering which is key for transitioning your wardrobe from winter to spring. Pair lightweight sweaters or cardigans with flowy tops and dresses for a stylish and practical layered look that can easily be adjusted as temperatures fluctuate. Consider outfits for any outdoor adventure.
One of the places my husband and I like to go this time of year is the Arboretum. If you haven’t been, it is a park that belongs to the botanical gardens complex of the University of Washington and is an excellent spot in the city to enjoy an afternoon of nature. Even if you are still having to wear your winter jacket, just remember that the warmer days are coming.
While we were out this last weekend we noticed all of the trees soft furry buds beginning to open, some cherry trees beginning to bloom and even some yellow daffodil flowers. Even while walking our puppy in the rain in the early mornings you could here the birds chirping and sounding so happy. It certainly is beginning to feel like the most pleasant time of year outside and even at the shop. No matter the weather it’s alway a perfect day to go shopping.
Experiment with accessories! Accessorizing can add an extra element of fun to your outfit. Try on different accessories such as scarves, hats, and jewelry to see how they can transform your outfits and express your personal style.
Grab a Friend! Go shopping with a friend or family member. It can make the experience more enjoyable and fun. You can offer each other advice, opinions, and support throughout the joy of shopping. I have been having a blast being a “friend” if you came alone! It’s fun to chat with you all and give advice or offer other options.
Whether it's finding the prefect dress or a fabulous pair of earrings, we are truly passionate about making you feel great about yourself and making your day better.
